Student of the Week...Peter Davis

Current city of Residence:
Los Angeles, CA (since 04/2003) but soon (June 29) to be Charlotte, NC
What have you been up to the past 10 years?
I went to Virginia Tech after graduating and majored in Mass Communication. At VT, I met an amazing woman from Powhatan named Sarah and married her two weeks after we graduated in 2001. We stuck around in Blacksburg for a while and then moved back to Richmond for a year before packing it up and moving to Los Angeles (David Casler is out here too). We've been here for almost 4 years now and since then I went back to school at Cal State Northridge and got my special education teaching certificate and we had two daughters, Kyla and Avery. I've been teaching 9th grade English at Santa Monica High School for the past two and half years and I love it. I'm also in the process of starting my own photography business on the side www.peterdavisphotography.com. We've had our fill of LA, though, and we bought a house in Charlotte down the street from Megan Kelly (Creehan) and we're moving at the end of June!

Favorite MBK memory:
Soccer definitely. Followed closely by Model UN, good times with great friends, a fantastic senior year, and I'm pretty sure I learned some stuff from some pretty top-notch teachers in there somewhere.

The thing that people would be most surprised to hear about you:
I majored in writing and I teach English! The guy who never really ever read an entire book in high school is teaching kids how to read and write. Funny how things turn out.
